Speaking as Patron of the Seminar, Mr. Rowe said the choice of Hong
Kong as the venue reflected credit on the Colony's standing in the region in
the developing field of social work.
He had no doubt that what overseas delegates would learn during the
seminar would convince them that Hong Kong, despite its "vast and unique problems,"
was succeeding in its social welfare programme.
The Seminar proper began with a plenary session on the theme **The
Asian Concept of Social Work, Values and Philosophy." The speaker was Mr. C.Y. Lee, Deputy Director of Social Welfare, with Miss Lee Hei-man, Senior
Lecturer, University of Hong Kong, as Chairman.

General Secretary, YWCA, and Mr. Ho Kam-fai, Head of the Department of Social
Work, United College, the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The Seminer continues tomorrow at the Ward Memorial Church, Waterloo
Road, Kowloon.
